Abstract
An X-ray apparatus constituted by a roentgenographic pedestal having a patient's table on top thereof; a supporting member secured on the pedestal and extending in the direction away from the surface of the table and having an end surface arranged so that this end surface is allowed to change its position progressively as desired while being in contact with rollers provided on a base frame of the apparatus and that the direction of movement of the pedestal is restricted by the supporting member. The roentgenographic pedestal, therefore, is movable along the contour of the surface of contact of the end surface of the supporting member, and furthermore this pedestal itself is capable of assuming either a horizontal position, an inclined position or a vertical position, as desired. In the horizontal position of the pedestal, the distance between the surface of the table and the floor on which the apparatus is installed can be greatly reduced.
